Behold as I ramble about figures of my blorbo :u
Did you know! Back in the day (around 2006 or so) there were a bunch of 12" vinyl figures made of Canti, by Kaching Brands. One of Regular Canti and another of Atomsk Canti, both in limited amounts. 888 figures for the former and 400 for the latter.
AND THEN a bit after that (or maybe around the same time?), there were recolored Canti figures made in even more limited amounts!! This page has more info on the other designs, what I included here is just some of the designs shown on that page.
Given how limited they are, you can imagine they go for A LOT of money on the second-hand market. The Skelecanti one (first pic in the middle row) I managed to get on Etsy for about $70, and that was only because it's a bit scuffed up and didn't have its original packaging. There's people on sites like eBay trying to sell that same figure with its box for anywhere from $250 to $1500. đŹ
And Skelecanti is the one that at least had 1000 figures made, the rest of the recolors only had about 100 each! With the exception of the white MAD one (second pic in the last row), which only had 88 made and was exclusively sold at San Diego Comic Con 2006.
I would like to get the white MAD figure someday tbh, it does look neat! But I don't think I'd be willing to pay thousands of dollars for it. And a figure that rare? Most likely not gonna be below a thousand. If I do end up seeing one cheaper than that, it'll be a frickin' miracle, lmao
Besides that, would also love to get the Rainmaker version (first pic in the last row), the colors really appeal to me. But again, probably not gonna be cheap at all. e_e;

Chapter 88 Writing Notes.
I REALLY hope I didn't lose you all with the last chapter structure!
I like to play with formats to tell the story outside of Hunter's POV and feed the reader clues as to what has been building.
88 Chapters of emotional build up, political intrigue, peppered with lore has been A LOT to keep a handle on.
I also can't help but mess with the audience sometimes -- I just hope this wasn't TOO weird for you all... I like to torture myself too.
Thanks to @unniebeans who gave me a heads up as to how to use the weird text in Ao3.
A few more notes for spoilers below but I am working on an in universe One Shot from Vee's POV based on one of @yayay0827's ridiculously angsty comics.
And next chapter we will finally (mostly) see an appearance of someone who has been teased throughout the story.
So the In-Between Realm is REALLY intriguing!
I am a big mythology buff and am DYING to play with some of that lore, but maybe in another fic (or a follow up I might do?)
Either way, when Luz made her deal with Papa Titan she was MOSTLY DEAD, and she had traveled there before when visiting her mother.
But how do the rules work there, and are there other ways to open that gate?
This is the third time (I believe) that Hunter has had a brush with the In-Between Realm -- and the first where he seemed immersed in it.
There's a common link between the times it's happened which I am not going to spoil -- but it does tie into everything.
Any theories on who the voices were that Hunter heard as he lost his ability to exercise free will?
The importance of music is a running theme in SCOM and this felt like the right time to bring back the initial riff of "Sweet Child O' Mine."
As I think the TOH community universally agrees that Hunter is prone to dissociation, I wanted to bring Raine's use of music therapy into the story.
Hunter is no longer a child, but the kind of trauma he'd lived through casts a long shadow. Healthy coping skills are key here.
Raine teaches him to use music to pull himself out of a dissociative episode, so Hunter uses these tools here.
There's also several callbacks to in story events from previous chapters -- but one of the locations that Hunter visits in the vision is a TOH canon location.
Did anyone catch it?
Anyway, Hunter appears to be losing his grip on reality.
His bond with Willow and their child is intensifying as she enters the last trimester.
There's an "unauthorized biography" of his life on the horizon with a movie tie in.
He's being stalked by the False GG who has finally maimed one of his loved ones.
A major political candidate is calling for an opening of the market on resources such as galdorstones and palistrom wood.
He's going to have to face Kiki, Adrian, and Terra to avoid a new Inner Circle Trial -- who are claiming he's a liar.
And he's NOT. But he did massage the truth in order to keep Vee safe.
And he's also supposed to appear for a big interview and do something he's never managed to do in public -- seem SANE.
So, yeah, throwing him into a trippy interlude between realms was totally cool!
SorryNotSorry.

Starting tomorrow, I'm returning to the Cambridge Arts Council's Holiday Art Market! The Market is FREE to the public Saturday and Sunday, Noon--6 PM at 650 E. Kendall Street, Cambridge, MA.
I'll be bringing small original art pieces, prints, comics, stickers, and more -- including my new holiday cards for 2024.
650 East Kendall Street in Cambridge is about 6 short blocks from the Kendall SquareRed Line Station, and directly faces the ice skating rink at Skate @Canal District Kendall.
It's somewhat further than Kendall from the Lechmere stop on the Green Line -- though the Medford/Tufts (E) branch (which stops at Lechmere) will be on shuttle buses this weekend, and the Union Square (D) branch will be suspended without shuttle buses. MBTABuses#69, #80, #87, and #88 will terminate at Lechmere Station as usual. Note that on Saturday and Sunday, MBTA Bus #64 terminates at University Park (not Kendall), and #68 and #85 do not run at all on weekends.
For those driving, there are several parking garages within several blocks of the building.

Vaguely German looking cracked abs jogger "You know, I don't know anyone here" "I think I'll go somewhere else" by bus stop where I was walking by. As if they're pleading or something.
Anna, as I had said, was required for receptivity to anything so far as this stuff goes. Cooper stalkers at intersections and off hand meaningless comments by people.
Since I've been "on the way here" since 1987-88 when we moved out to the ranch from wagner creek. Death or prison at the other end. From completely preventable, entirely correctible, social and economic problems over a damn ranch. So I'm waiting for a best friend to convince me along the lines that I had laid out; now after the fifteen consecutive years mark of day to day antagonism.
Whatever the argument is from stevenson union or wherever on campus, it's probably going to wife all gone, job all gone, life all gone. At a rate things seem to be going. Something that based on the collective reach of his family would cost less than pruning a fingernail. As some of those problems were caused as a result of the success of that family, it seemed kind of like they could fix it.
Anna herself, would probably state the stack of prejudices keeping things going this way. And they go back a long time. We all had black names in my kindergarten class; there were no black people in Ashland. A dentist is called "F period Schwartzer", subtle, right? And my last name is an anagram of "negro"; too close I guess to go unscathed and somewhat celebrated as most of my classmates turned out. Never for want of prospects.
Yelling next to empty pond um, see above and conditions for receptivity. Staged conversation shooting for proselytizing interest No.
And again, that was back in 2009, or 08 or something. And there was this half japanese woman, who got sent around the world only to get "poured" into the life that unexpectedly culminated in; not good compared to apparent trajectory. She saw some exclusive communities and events and itineraries on account of a "bund" adjacent "pair the spares" thing. At my estimation it's two thirds of the axis but wasn't the "really important" part that had the bund orgies; so off she went to motherhood and marriage and all that stuff.
A people who get off those rollercoasters without knowing that they exist, they never stop trying to get back on them. As I had put here; I know how the system works. Complaining about stuff my old boss did in "regulating" the system, I can suggest what it was before. "Any system based on trust is really, really, comically easy, to shut down. Sex work. Orgies. Any public space. The airlines. STD scare? Done. Contaminated drinking water from fountains? Done. Bomb on an airplane? Done. Someone tries opening a door in flight? Done.
So I'm futilely waiting here, for someone to prove the system doesn't work fifteen years ago, exactly the way that I know it works today in 2024.
Edit: *followed exactly* to the moment of posting, by an Eric expy doing the verbal equivalent of a slow clap in praise for "liam" one of a group of small children on bikes. He's like a pit boss (the actual guy) for a company town, which last I checked the company had an eleven billion dollar market capitalization. So clearly this confirms when it's "not worth a bullet" so to speak.
Remember when the highschool wasn't accessible because people with handicaps somehow *didn't manage to go there*? Me either.

I always cite BOOM as having mismanaged the comic grossly and set it up for failure. With so little story between such huge hiatuses and with no consistency--plus the lack of marketing and confusion between issues and volumes--fans will drift off and lose interest, which loses money, which makes continuing the comic even less sure, which just starts the process anew and makes it all the more clunky and shaky as it goes on. Every choice they've made has been a bad one.
Like I said, I've tried rationalizing and explaining shit from every angle since the first hiatus hit, and at the start of that hiatus, things were actually looking really exciting! The monthly issues were really fun and worked well enough keeping the fanbase--it's the expected model for a comic. You get 22 pages every 30 days, and that's not a bad deal. But it is hard--especially on the artist. Which was why I was happy to sit on a long hiatus because when Fence was announced to be renewed, it was as a graphic novel. So we'd get less frequent releases with bigger chunks of content--not huge chunks, but not single-issue releases. Obviously a 4-issue volume every 12-18 months isn't a good trade-off unless you take into account that the switch from comic to graphic novel allows for more complete narratives rather than the serialized episodic model of comics. This implied that more of the story had been greenlit by BOOM already and the new installments would be able to focus more on actually building the story and give Johanna The Mad plenty of time to get ahead of the workload of drawing it all. This was not the case at all, and BOOM hadn't greenlit beyond vol 4 at all, so it just morphed into episodic 88-page issues released every 12-18 months. Which is a killer blow to fan interest and is a stupid marketing decision. And listen, if Fence isn't making money, we aren't getting more of it. So dumb marking decisions mean less chance of more Fence, which is why I keep mentioning marketing; money is all BOOM cares about, so by looking at Fence from a marketing angle, you can use logic to try and understand or predict their decisions...except that whoever markets for BOOM needs to be fired because they don't know what they're doing. And to top it all off, Jo's still drawing in the exact same time constraints as before because of when she's given the script.
So BOOM literally shot themselves in the foot with Fence and shot all of us in the foot too for good measure. As a fan, the publishing around Fence is so frustrating--I think they should have bought up the remaining story after issue 12 and immediately let Pacat and Jo start building up some backlog of it too, which would have allowed the plot to progress at a healthy pace and the story to have the depth intended. I can understand other people getting frustrated with the way BOOM's decided to publish Fence and losing interest in the comic/deciding it's not worth it, but it didn't honestly occur to me that Pacat might have gotten bored of his own work because of the model that is losing fan interest until now.
Novelty, though, I've definitely considered as an explanation for his wandering attention. Pacat didn't even pitch Fence; he was approached by a publisher at BOOM and came up with Fence specifically for the opportunity (so already it's not a project born of love), and it was his first comic. He's said himself in multiple interviews that writing comics is very different and quite difficult because there's 'nowhere to hide'. Once he saw what a commitment and challenge it would be to actually bring the story to fruition, I'm betting he lost interest. It's a hard format to write for and he's not suited to it in my opinion. Pacing is his biggest weakness as a writer, and comics make that a fatal weakness. Now he's making it worse by trying to condense the story, and characterization has been the compromise to make that happen. Which sucks because I'd rather have the OG characters until it doesn't get renewed than see the new characters to the state championship.
I've long thought Pacat's disinterest in Fence was from a bigger love for his other works and the realization that comic writing isn't for him, and having heard a couple people say working with BOOM and all the publishing nonsense they've pulled would make them less enthusiastic about the project too, I think that has a part in it too. However, the driving force is still, at the end of the day, Pacat himself. If Pacat cared about Fence, there are things he could do besides half-assing it. I genuinely cannot imagine starting a story (especially with an amazing artist and partner to work on it with) and then having its shininess wear off because the format isn't my favorite to work with--it simply does not make sense to me in a way I can't even articulate. So while I can logically understand how BOOM and the comic format turned Pacat off Fence, I can't justify the way he's dealt with it at all. If it were a problem of the format exclusively, why not negotiate to get the rights to the story back and write a fully illustrated novel with Jo instead? I'll tell you why. Pacat is a slow writer, and he'd rather be writing Dark Rise. When the opportunity to bring novels into the franchise came up, he handed it off to someone else. And now instead of either continuing with the progression and complexity he'd planned originally in the comic knowing that it may never be finished or trying to transfer it to a format he's more comfortable with, he's fucked over the fans and the story by trying to get it over as fast as possible.
does pacat rlly not care about fence anymore đ i feel like itâs much better than dark rise and could be better than captive prince tooâŠitâs been a year since i last consumed anything fence-related and i really donât understand whatâs going on with the series?? but anyways i like ur fics a lot & agree with ur reviews of srbâs novels, which also could have had so much potential but ended up kind of sucking in a lot of ways.
Pacat is a mystery to me. Personally, I believe Dark Rise is his best work--it shows much better pacing than Captive Prince and gets the same impact and feel without going to such extreme and explicit horrors, which shows a lot of skill (I know CP is his most beloved series but he's improved a lot since writing it haha). What gets me is that Fence STARTED really strong and I counted it as his best work for sure. There were fun tropes and dynamics, interesting characters with a central relationship promising contention, fighting, and tension, and some fun elements in the mystery of Jesse and potential in the reveal of Nick's lineage. And you could tell there was passion in the project...but even by the later issues of the original 12-issue run, Pacat's social media reflected a large disinterest in Fence, and that disinterest has shown in the story as Fence continues to progress.
I try to logic and rationalize and analyze everything Fence related and literally every time I do I get met with 'it's not that deep' from the actual canon lmfao but I'm going to offer my rationalization anyway lmao the only reason I can think to justify Pacat's lack of interaction with Fence on Twitter besides not caring about it much is that it doesn't fit his brand. Which is only defined by two other series, but it's very much a high fantasy/historical fantasy dark romance with stomach-churning undertones and much darker themes than Fence. So I gave him that excuse for a long time. Fence doesn't fit within that brand at all, so from a marketing standpoint, it makes some amount of sense to focus more on the other franchises. However, I think this strategic thinking is giving too much credit--Fence has always had really shit marketing so either Pacat has no mind for marketing or he doesn't care to market Fence, which both get us back to the only real reason being he just doesn't care about it as much as his other things.
Do I expect Pacat to be hanging out in the Twitter FENCEtag? No. But I do think it's strange that he'll post tweets saying happy birthday to other people's books the day they come out, but literally didn't ever make a Fence Redemption announcement or say anything on the release day. The most he's done is retweet a couple things from BOOM! and 2 other outside sources. And this is regular behavior--he didn't do announcements for RIVALS or RISE either and didn't promote them at all. Yet Dark Rise gets announcements all the way along--title announcement, release date announcement, cover reveal, etc etc etc. He also posts and retweets fanart for his other 2 books really regularly, yet he didn't even retweet all of Jo's (the co-creator and illustrator of Fence) pieces for the Fence event Jo hosted in April, let alone bother with much fanart of it. There's just no reason for the vast gap in involvement and enthusiasm other than him very strongly preferring his other projects and not bothering with the effort of interacting with Fence. He'll occasionally ask culture questions (like if Americans say 'coz' for cousin or how to say something in French) but that's legitimately the best argument there is for his interest or care in the project.
And lastly, his lack of interest shows in the story. He handed his story off to someone else to write novels for and simply let her go wild without regard for how it impacted the comics or the fans. Further, Pacat lost track of his own story and characters between Volume 3 & 4 in a way that I cannot excuse as anything other than inconsistent characterization. And I know I'm biased there, but I make so many people in real life read Fence that I don't jabber at about it/pull into the fandom (so they have no knowledge of my takes), and all of them have commented on the 180 the characters made between the volumes. And, listen, if I wouldn't accept that kind of inconsistency in characterization when grading my 12-year-olds' narrative writing projects, why am I still sitting here trying to excuse the lazy/poor writing in a published and successful author? The pacing is also telling--a lot of conflict was skipped over 'off screen' between the volumes (which, say it with me folks, is lazy writing). Nick's resentment toward Seiji turned into full admiration sans any ill feelings or acknowledgment that even if he IS hot shit, he was still a major asshole in his initial conception, and Seiji apparently agreed to drop his thing about Jesse (you know, the thing that had them in a fist fight approximately 40 pages of comic before). There was no build-up to their relationship or resolution of the conflict that made it unhealthy (expect to have Nick 'admit' Seiji was right to treat him like shit...) These things push the story along a lot faster; rivals to lovers moves really fast if you skip all the tedious development of the characters getting to know, respect, tolerate, and then like each other. Pacat loves rivals/enemies to lovers and (to be blunt) mean/cold bottoms, so it is so fucking bizarre to me that he'd speedrun the relationship and change the characterization so much when it's directly moving away from his preferences (see: Captive Prince, Dark Rise). I donât know how it happened from anything other than sheer laziness or from not caring about Fence so deeply that he let SRB overwrite the characters and romance he'd originally created.
Last, there are just SO many inconsistencies and copyedit-level mistakes. And I get it that typos happen, but it happens so much that it's like,,, are you even rereading the scripts before you throw them at your publisher? And the continuity errors are massive at this point. Seiji's year in France, which was apparently the result of his loss to Jesse, is only possible if time travel exists and also timelines exist simultaneously. How do you fuck up so big when constructing a story you care about? At least by the time it gets published, you should be sure it's READY to be published. It's like he's writing issue-by-issue as he goes with no plan and can't be bothered to skim through the previous issues to check for things.
I just can't come up with a reality where Pacat actually loves Fence when this is all the care he gives it. We are so so so lucky to have Jo--she is literally the most amazing and gives so much love and care to Fence, and it shows...I just wish Pacat's writing didn't affect her contribution to the comic too. But she at least loves Fence even if Pacat doesn't seem to tell her all that much more than he tells the rest of us LMFAO
This turned into a WHOLE messy essay, I just have a lot of thoughts and they've been brewing for years so sorry to go off on my mad ravings and thanks for tuning in XD and also!!! I'm so happy you like my fics TT.TT <33 and also that you see my point about the novels uwu
#jackshit#fence vent#fencessay#(at the point where theres 3 stacked atop each other I will use that tag)#even tho it makes me snicker because it looks like fencussy to me#so love seeing other people as deep in speculation as I am about everything in fence tho lmfao

The Secret Report is a webcomic I am doing. Could you please review it? Please note that the art is a little bit roughin the beginning.
Here's the link: https://secretreport.the-comic.org/comics/#comicimage
Keep in mind that despite the strip format, the comic is serialized (not gag a day) and the strip format was chosen purely to save on time (that's also why in the beginning it is partially in grayscale)
So, first thing jumps out immediatelyÂ
Which is that I literally can not read your comic because the âSupport Me Financiallyâ subscribestar link is on top of it. It looks like your header bar is set to position:fixed so it jumps down when I try to scroll to read the comic itself. I get the desire to make the link prominent but this crosses into obnoxious (Itâs also very generic, but Iâm not a marketer so I wonât comment on that further), and breaks the reading experience because I have to scroll up slightly every page load. Ignoring the site design and getting int-
Actually Iâm not the biggest fan of these nav icons either. You sort of have to be used to Standard Webcomic Site Template to know what they do, or even that theyâre buttons at all. Thatâs more nitpicky, though.
So, I spent like an hour and a half going through the strips one by one and making notes in the way I often do, but after way too long I realized it was useless, because
Strip 2
Strip 31
Strip 102
Thereâs a remarkably rabid improvement in the presentation, here. Not just the art, but the paneling and world balloons have shot up in quality. Like, the art is still fairly crude and Iâm not going to pretend otherwise, but youâre getting way more out of it now that you were originally. For a comic thatâs only been going a year and change thereâs a pretty significant improvement!Â
I wrote 225 words nitpicking this one panel, but really who cares. Your early comics arenât indicative of your current work, to the point that âThis dialogue from strip 7 makes no senseâ isnât actually useful feedback anymore. And thatâs legitimately amazing for how short a time youâve been working on this.Â
I do think, though, that youâre still having some issues with the word balloons, and I think you should focus on that because itâs probably the highest ratio of âeffort spentâ vs âoutput improvedâ you can get right now. Panel 2 has fifty-six words in a single balloon. The rule of thumb is 25 words max in a single balloon, and 35 words in a single panel. Iâd recommend that you, and anyone writing comics, get in the habit of counting your words, and either draw more panels to fit them all in an aesthetically pleasing way, or try to cut your dialogue down. (âThank you Admiral. The calls for violence from the human religious leaders make it clear weâre not wanted here anymoreâ is 20 words and contains most of the key information)
I would also recommend giving a bit more flow to the logical flow of the conversation. Here, Birvoth says the problems of this world are âInequality, Slavery, Lack of Social Mobility, and Arrogant Leadersâ and Soria tells him not to generalize all humans. But....he didnât. All four of humans problems he lists are social problems about how some groups of humans oppress others, not âhumans are greedyâ, so Soriaâs objection doesnât make any sense.Â
He did generalize them in the previous strip, but then he walked it back to talk about social problems and Soria has this kind of delayed response
Shuffling the panels like this makes the conversation flow smoother, making Soriaâs objection better time while having the interesting side effect that now Birvoth appears to be walking it back in response to her. Which you may or may not consider a positive, but thatâs the kind of thing Iâd encourage you to think about. (Strips 88 and 89 have a similar delayed response thing happening, where the woman says âyou canât helpâ and then Lemmy stands around for two panels before starting the next strip with âNo Iâm pretty sure I can helpâ).
This might be presumptuous, but I get the sense this kind of thing and the word balloon issues that you donât write out your dialogue before drawing the strip. I think it might be a helpful exercise to try writing a movie-style âscriptâ for your comic, and then putting it down for a bit, then coming back to give it a once-over with fresh eyes and try to edit it down. I think that might help you catch this kind of stuff and find your own solutions to it.
I look forward to seeing what your comic looks like next year. Youâre improving at a pretty good pace!Â

Raymond Briggs, who has died aged 88, did a great deal to elevate the art of illustration to being something much more than a servant of the written word. Though he was best known for his hugely popular books Father Christmas (1973) and The Snowman (1978), his output also explored themes such as war, politics and the environment through a deeply human, very British lens that often settled on the quiet heroism of ordinary lives.
Briggs may be seen to sit comfortably in the English anecdotal tradition exemplified by Randolph Caldecott in the 19th century and Edward Ardizzone in the 20th, but his often wordless graphic literature built bridges between the picture book and the comic or graphic novel, introducing a new way of reading to the adult publishing market, or at least asking grownups to relearn the business of reading a silent visual sequence.
He started out in 1957 by hawking his portfolio around as a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, London, picking up freelance illustration work from newspapers, magazines and design studios. His first book commission came from the editor Mabel George at Oxford University Press, in the form of illustrations to Peter and the Piskies: Cornish Folk and Fairy Tales (1958) by Ruth Manning-Sanders.
George championed the work of a number of artists who were to transform picture-book illustration in the early 1960s, including Brian Wildsmith and Charles Keeping. She sought out printers who were at the cutting edge of developing technology, and who could do justice to the work of these emerging artists. But, as with most illustrators, Briggsâs early working years involved undertaking a range of commissions, drawing anything and everything, starting off with a schematic diagram for House and Garden magazine in 1957 â âhow deep to plant your bulbsâ.
As various narrative texts came his way, he realised that not all of them were of the highest quality, and took to writing himself. In 1961 he wrote and illustrated two books, Midnight Adventure and The Strange House, for the publishers Hamish Hamilton, with whom he would have a lasting working relationship.
That year, he began teaching illustration part-time at Brighton College of Art (now Brighton Universityâs faculty of arts) at the invitation of the then head of department, the calligrapher and engraver John R Biggs. He continued to teach for a day a week at Brighton until 1987, and his tuition was much admired and appreciated by generations of artists including the prolific illustrator and Observer political cartoonist Chris Riddell.
In 1963 Briggs had married the painter Jean Taprell Clark. Her death from leukaemia in 1973, and the deaths of his parents, led Briggs to throw himself into his work. A major breakthrough had already come in 1966, with The Mother Goose Treasury, for which he received his first Kate Greenaway medal. Father Christmas brought him a second, and catapulted him to fame. His grumbling, lavatorial and flawed Santa was immensely popular.
As with all Briggsâs subsequent titles, the book is full of autobiographical elements and references. His own childhood home and Loch Fyne holidays appear regularly and he himself pops up in the follow-up, Father Christmas Goes on Holiday (1975).
Briggs can be found standing ahead of Father Christmas in the queue for a shave at the campsite, along with the illustrator John Vernon Lord (sporting his initials on his wash bag). The authorâs VW Camper van would make regular appearances too. Fungus the Bogeyman (1977) could also be seen as a character very much close to home, displaying as he does an extreme version of the authorâs own tendency to be outspoken and impatient.
At Hamish Hamilton the newly arrived editor Julia MacRae (later to set up her own imprint) played a major role in developing the artistâs career. The illustrator John Lawrence, who was also published by Hamish Hamilton, recalled those days with great fondness: âAll the talk was about âis the world ready for Fungus the Bogeyman?â and we all turned up at the launch party in green wellingtons surrounded by buckets of suspicious-looking green liquid, wondering whether it might be the wine.â
The subject of mortality formed a recurrent theme, addressed explicitly in Briggsâs account of his parentsâ lives, Ethel & Ernest: A True Story (1998), which was made into an admired full-length animation broadcast at Christmas in 2016, and implicitly in the melting at the end of The Snowman and the disappearance of The Bear in the 1994 book of that name.
But perhaps the most powerful motivation was a hatred of injustice by authority toward the powerless and naively respectful common man. The latter could be seen most directly in When the Wind Blows (1982), Briggsâs examination of an elderly coupleâs attempts to follow government guidelines as nuclear war breaks out; and The Tin-Pot General and the Old Iron Woman (1984), a thinly disguised General Leopoldo Galtieri and Margaret Thatcher.
In 1982 he told the Times: âWhen I did [When the Wind Blows] I was not remotely a CND supporter. I simply thought it was good subject. It is highly depressing and fairly political, and I could not even think who was going to buy it. But I never think of the potential audience when I embark on a book; this was not even done specifically for children.â
Nevertheless, the children of his long-term partner, Liz, provided inspiration and source material for other projects, notably The Puddleman (2004), which grew from a remark made by one of the young children on passing a puddle while the family were out walking in the countryside.
His final book was consciously intended to be just that. Compiled across several of his last years, Time for Lights Out (2019) is a poignant, funny and deeply honest exploration of the experience of ageing and reaching the end of life, in the form of a collage of verse, drawings and random thoughts.
Many of Briggsâs books were successfully adapted for film and other media, Channel 4âs 1982 animated film version of The Snowman, with its familiar theme song Walking in the Air, became a staple of Christmas Day TV. Briggs endorsed a sequel, The Snowman and the Snowdog, broadcast in 2012. Other books were translated for stage and radio, with Briggs taking a keen interest in the overall production.
He was born in Wimbledon, south-west London, to Ethel (nee Bowyer) and Ernest Briggs. Their first meeting is beautifully described in the wordless opening sequence of the book devoted to their story. Ethel, a young parlour maid in a Belgravia house, had been innocently shaking out her duster from an upper window as Ernest passed by on his bicycle and confidently returned what he took to be a friendly wave.
Briggs attended the local Rutlish school and went on to study at Wimbledon School (now College) of Art, the Central School of Arts and Crafts (now Central Saint Martins) and, after a two-year break for national service, the Slade. His father, a milkman, had tried to dissuade his son from studying at art school, fearing that it would not equip him for stable employment.
Briggsâs keen interest in narrative drawing was not welcomed at Wimbledon School of Art, which was rooted in traditional representational painting. He recalled: âI had gone to art school to learn to draw so as to become a cartoonist. But I was soon told that cartooning was an even lower form of life than commercial art.â
Such prejudices, still not entirely eradicated today, were commonplace at art schools of the time. Although he bemoaned his tutorsâ failure to recognise a ânatural illustratorâ, the formal training that he received imbued in Briggs a strong sense of structure and of the importance of good draughtsmanship. These equipped him well in book illustration, although he left the Slade with what he saw as a poor sense of colour and a dislike of paint. When he eventually arrived at the film version of The Snowman, he expressed pleasure at how it so faithfully and painstakingly replicated his coloured-pencil technique, despite the massively labour-intensive approach that this necessitated.
The characteristic that the journalist John Walsh described in a 2012 interview as a very English âstrenuous curmudgeonlinessâ had become in later years a stereotype that Briggs embraced, exemplified by his column in the Oldie, Notes from the Sofa, collected in book form in 2015, where he would rail against sundry incomprehensible aspects of modern life.
But friends knew another side to Briggs â loyal and playful, an inveterate practical joker. Lord once made the mistake of confessing to a dislike of dogs in the presence of Briggs, thereby immediately committing himself to becoming the recipient of all manner of canine-related gifts on subsequent birthdays and Christmases. Like so many of his characters, Briggsâs grumpiness never quite managed to conceal an underlying warmth and kindness. In 2017 he was appointed CBE.
Liz died in 2015. He is survived by her children, Clare and Tom, and grandchildren, Connie, Tilly and Miles.

Transformers opinion on Dinobot and/or Dinobot 2? :0c
I'm gonna go compare the four Dinobots I know about (Original cartoon, Transmetal 2/clone, IDW BW 2021, and Kingdom) and give my thoughts on them all, if that's alright with ya!
I feel like a broken record talking about the original cartoon Dinobot because I don't think there's much I can add that many before haven't praised him for already. I mean, he's such a fun and nuanced character to watch! He has his sense of honor in battle, but he's also stubborn and kinda a jerk. He doesn't always get along with his fellow Maximals or stays completely loyal to them even after switching sides. In a franchise where Hasbro doesn't usually like to stray too far away from the "Decepticon/Predacon bad, Autobot/Maximal good" narrative set by their marketing, a nuanced character like Dinobot that is also written well is a pleasant surprise.
I thought that having Dinobot 2 be a clone of the original Dinobot made by Megatron was an ingenious way to get the toy into the show without having to bring the original Dinobot back to life and thus ruin the emotional impact of "Code of Hero". Dinobot 2 also has a really cool design, really hope to get my hands on his toy one day (either the Hasbro or Takara version).
As for IDW BW 2021 and Kingdom Dinobot...eh. They could be much worse, but there's certainly room for improvement. My main problem is that they both have the "honor in battle" characterization, but they're missing the asshole nature of the original Dinobot and so they feel like a cardboard cutout by comparison. They don't have the depth or complexity of the original Dinobot, but both the comic and Kingdom were/are also on time crunches (with IDW losing the license to Transformers at the end of 2022 and with Kingdom having 88% less screen time to work with than the original BW show + all the BW characters in Kingdom were forced to share screentime with characters from the first two parts of the show). I'm willing to give the writers a little bit of slack, I know they have no control over external factors like that and they shouldn't be blamed for it either.
Overall though, I love the gremlin raptor. He's actually become one of my comfort characters in recent years, and there's a reason he was the first fictional character that fans nominated into the Transformers Hall of Fame.

Derry Girls really said that life is not a linier series of events and the worst parts of your life can and will co-exist with the best parts and there is no telling if and when those will be. So you just have to try and make the best of every situation as it comes to you.
And they were right.
